The " Dandy," whose cheeks were highly painted, was pushed from side to side, and ar last, was so roughly handled, that be was obliged to seek protection from the soldiers. Our Correspondent, who was present, informs us, 'hat the same person appeared on the public walk, in the Tower, yesterday week, when the people threatened to pull off Iris stays, &c. His re appearance yesterday increased their disgust and indignarion. He was received with hisses from both sexes, and would have been driven from the walk, had he not sought shelter in the guard room. Several hundred persons were present. On Tuesday last, as Mr. CoNGREVE, brother to Sir Wm CosrGuEsra, and ti —o.olle. ..ANMER, were nut shooting in the neighbourhood of Beech-hill, near Reading, in crossing a field the gun of the former accid-ntally went off, and the charge un fortunately lodged in the elbow of Colonel HAN MER. At first no serious danger was apprehend, ed. A mortification followed, iro‘.ever, and we are concerned to state that Coloncl HANMER breathed his last on Friday night. It is impossi ble to describe the sensations of Mr. CostGßEva at this lamentable event. MURDER IN HERTFORDSHIRE.—On/Wednesday last an Inquisition was taken at Broxbourne, on the body of John Cooper, who was found mur dered on the preceding evening, at Spittlehrook hill. Cooper had been in the habit, for a consi derable time past, of bringing packages of fruit to London in a chaise -cart, and returning the same evening, generally with a considerable stun of money, arisill from the sale of his fruit. On Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, upon his re turn from one of these joarnies, he called at the White Horse public-house, at Wortnley. Several labouring men were there, but it was not ob served that they took any particular notice of Cooper. He continued in the house only a few minutes, and then resumed his journey towards home. The bloody deed was perpetrated within a few minutes after his departure from the White Horse. About half -past nine o'clock he was dis covered lying dead on the ground in the middle of the road, at Spittlebrook-hill, near the village of Broxbourne, within the distance of a mile from the White Horse ; Iris arms were extended, and his breeches pocket on the right side was turned inside out. He was conveyed to the Bull-inn, at Broxbonrne, and a surgeon was immediately sent tor, who, upon examining his person, discovered that !tt dreadful wound had been inflicted on the forehead; the skull was fractured, and the instru ment which had been used for the purpose (appa rently a hammer) had penetrated the brain. His pockets were completely rifled ; nothing but a few papers were found upon his person. The horse and cart were discovered at the distance of about a hundred yards from the body ; the front of the cart was sprinkled with blood, Tire Jury returned a Verdict of—Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown. On Saturday se'nnight almost the whole inha bitants of Anuan were spectators of a scene which must have been in the highest degree gratifying to their feelings,—the launch of the first vessel ever built at that port. The fine sloop Annan, registered 38 tons harden, was launched from the stocks at Annan Well, and reached her native element amidst the cheers of hundreds, who testi fied by their enthusiasm that they regarded the event as an earnest of the future prosperity of the place. THE THEATRES. DRII RY-LANE.—The Comedy of Totem and Country was followed on Saturday last, at this Theatre, by the pleasant operatic farce of No Song I V 2 Supper, the new piece of Barmecide bring unavoidably deferred, on account of the sudden ill ness of HARLEM, for whom an apology was made by BARNARD. We are sorry to learn that HAtt- LEY's illness is of a serious nature. COVENT-GARDEN.--The Tragedy of Othello, on Saturday last, with admirable support from YOUNG in Othello, C. KENIBLE in Cossio, and Miss O'NEIL L in Desdemona, introduced Mr. YATES, from the Edinburgh Theatre, in the part of lag,o. Mr. YATES is of the middle size, and he seems to be well acquainted with what islcalled the business of the stage. His performance, though respect able altogether, Was at times much too vehement for the cool determined malignity : of logo, parti cularly in one soliloquy, in which he must have alarmed the people of any place where it might be supposed to have been delivered. We admit that a soliloquy is considered only as n mental ► operation without ;Teed] ; hut we conceive that the " thinkings" should not have been so violent in so deliberate a villain. Mr. YATES gave a ghastly expression to the character, after his vil lainy is detected in the last scene, which was more characteristic than the pantomimic gestures of his predecessors in general. He was well received throughout. REGISTER OF FASHION. ♦RRJVALS Field-Marshal Beresford, in Harley-street, from France; Admiral Sir J.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. • Sin,—A paragraph has appeared in several of the Public Journals, stating, that the Count de LAS CASAS had addressed a Letter to M. Matf- BACH, in which be denies being privy to the pub lication of the first part of the Memoirs lately pub lished under his name in the English, French, and German Languages. What reasons the Count may now have for thus endeavouring to falsify any part of that publica tion (the authenticity of which is so apparent from the various private details which it exhibits) I am at a loss to guess ; but having printed the English Edition of that work, for which I have given a valuable consideration, I feel myself call ed upon to request your insertion of the follow ing extract of a Letter relative to the transac tion, on which the public will make their own comments. am, Sir,. Your very obedient Servant, HENRY COLBURN. (TRANSLATION.) Leipsig, the 27th June, 18 1 8. Las Cams, the companion and intimate friend of Napo leon, is as you may know now in Germany; I am closely con nected with hits, and have reasons to hope to receire from time to time many important papers.

The Letter to Lord Bathurst, written from Fraufort after his arrival, likewise unedited.

This morning, between six and seven o'clock, an alarming fire broke out at a sugar-baker's, occu pied by a Mr. Soutmeyer, Betts -street, Back-lane, St. George's in the East, which in less than an hour was entirely consumed, together with the dwelling-house adjoining. By the timely arrival of engines, and a good supply of water, the fur ther progress of the devouring element was stopped without further damage. Where an assemblage of talent and experience is concentrated in one line of practice, a success must attend their application, not to be found elsewhere. This has been evinced in the Esta blishment of the Medical Board at Charlotte- House, Blacktriars-road, and at Woodstock- House, Woodstock -street, Oxford -street, where cures are every day performed in cases which have baffled the skill of eminent professors, and excited their astonishment. The Medical Board have particularly attended to those consequences of a certain disease, which entails the most distressing debilities, and un hinges the constitution of both sexes. They also remove the effects of those symptoms arising from juvenile indiscretion, from irregular living, and from a long residence in warm climates—of this description they beg particularly to notice obsti nate eruptions in the skin, sore throat, pains in -the head and limbs, frequently mistaken for rheu matism, strictures, fistulas, scrophula, &c. Messrs COOPER and Co. after forty years' prac tice in various Hospitals, are consulted at Wood stock-street, Oxford -street, drily, front eight till eight; and at the Medical Board, Charlotte- House, Great Charlotte -street, Blackfriars-road, precisely from twelve until eight in the evening. Mechanics, and persons of moderate income, have advice gratis, it they attend at certain hours, namely, Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday morn ings, until one o'clock, and every evening fron► six to eight. *** A side door, and private roams for females. DISTURI3ANCE AT ETON COLLEGE. [From The Observer.] A considerable degree of uneasiness was excited during the last week, in consequence o f certain indications of a rebellious and refractory spirit among the boys at Eton College. For several days they kept the town in a state of uproar, and in their immediate quarters did some serious mischief, a s we ll as o f f ered the grossest indigni ties to Dr. KEATS, the Head of the College. At first it was apprehended that all subordination was at an end, and that it would be impossible for the business of the Institution to proceed : by the firm and decisive conduct of Dr. KEATE, however, aided by the other masters, and by making a pro per example of some of the ringleaders, peace was restored, and on Saturday the whole of the School had returned to a proper sense of their duty. For some time back, the senior lads of the Col lege having arrived at that age when coercion of any sort becomes irksome, nod when ph asure has more attractions than study, have thought ',toper to extend their excursions beyond those bounds which the prudence of their superiors had fixed as the limit of their walks. tieing thus beyond all controul, save that of their own fancy, they gave way to their natural inclinations, and spent the liberal allowances made them by their patents in the most expensive as well as dangerous amusements ; such as hunting, shooting, driving, and sports of a like description. Dr. Keate wag perfectly aware that these practices existed ; but such was the tenacity with which the boys kept each other's secrets, that he could never bring home a charge of this description against any one individual, although he was quite sal !sficd a ho the offenders were. Itepeattli install 'es of !his sort having come within his knowledge, without being able to correct what be found to be an Mei easing evil, lie determined to exert that authority with which be was empowered, and which he deemed essential to the interests of those entrusi (NI to his care. To this end he issued an order that the boys, should " lock up," that is to say, retire to the houses in which they hoarded and lodged, and not be seen out afterwards, -at five o'clock —the hour having been foimerly six. This, by the senior boys, was considered an un justifiable innovation upon their liberties. A strong sensation of discontent became manifest throughout the College, and at last, two indivi duals, the nephew of Mr. Marryat, M. P., anil :he son of Mr. Justice Holroyd, refused, when direct ed by Dr. Keate, to retire to their dames (the houses of their landladies) at the time stipulated by the new regulation. Dr. Keate, upon this di rect opposition to his authority, lost no time in writing to the parents of the young mutineers, desiring that they might he removed from the Col lege, ;:preferring rattier tbis gentle mode of pro ceeding than having recourse to the more serious sentence of expulsion. So far was this conduct from producing a salutary effect, that it only acted like oil upon fire, and excited a more alarm ing flame. The boys assembled together tumul tuously, and seemed resolved upon committing some desperate act, by which they thought they would be enabled to recover their supposed ascen derrcy. The first step of this description was of a private nature, and consisted of an attack upon the desks and benches in the school, many of which, after nightfall, were torn up and destroyed. This was discovered to be the act of a few ; and a suspicious character having been charged as a particeps crirnirris, and fluting himself in danger of punishment, denounced the real delinquents. The names of these offenders, we understand, ate Pitt, May, and Jackson. Against these, Dr. Keate, upon finding their guilt confirmed, pronounced sentence of expulsion ; after which be addressed the whole school on the impropriety of their conduct, and expressed a hope that the severe example he had made would have the effect of inducing them to return to those habits of order and regularity which the existence or the College demanded. One of the youths who was present, named Palk, brother to Sir Lawrence Palk, answered in an under, but audible tone, " Never;" and he too shared the fate of his for mer companions, being likewise sentenced to be expelled. The uproar now became more serious. The school resounded with exclamations against the injustice of Dr. Keate and matters went so far that he was pelted with eggs, and otherwise insulted. More mischief was done in the school, and several panes of glass were broken. This imprudent _intemperance of course led to a new severity, and two more were added to the list of those expelled, namely, the Messrs. Elton, major and minor, thus making in all 7 expelled, and 2 sent from the school. During the ensuing even ings, up to Friday night, there was a good deal of mischief done, such as pushing down walls and breaking windows; but this, at length, by the establishment of ,proper watchmen, was finally stopped ; and the severity to which Dr. Keate bas bad recourse will, it is trusted, have the effect of preventing the recurrence of similar acts of in subordination in future. TEMPEST v. ORD.--The LORD CISANCELLOP, on Friday, gave a written copy of ti►e elaborate Judgment he bad formerly delivered in this im portant case. Each of the parties received a copy of it, in order, that when the Appeal comes on in the House of Lords, the grounds of the decision may be accurately knots n. His Lordship is still of opinion, we understand, that the marriage should take place, as he conceives the objections against Lord STEWART are groundless. EXTRAORDINARY TROUT.—On Friday last, a trout weighing 151 h. was received by A. BLANDY, Esq. of Wall, near Lichfield, which was caught on his estate in Oxfordshire, in the Isis. The beauty and proportion of the fish were as remark able as its extreme size ; measuring in length 30 inches and a half, over the shoulders 17 inches and three quarters, extreme breadth, 18 inches and three quarters, at the tail end under the fin, 9 inches and a half. On Monday last the respected remain* of Lady Romit.ty passed through Portsmouth from East Cowes, on their way to Knill, near Prest,:ign ? Radnorshire, to be interred.
